Writing from Bath, he says Hender-

have wished him bunged up with his
rails before the end dof the the third act. "
On one occasion, when Henderson re-
shearged before him, he remarked:
Y ty7,5ulg man, you must get the worsted

me an actor This may have been

Boycott the Stock Gamblers,

Referring to the recent stock gam
bling speculations in wheat and coffee
in New York and Chicago. General
Master Workman Powderly says:
"The lesson taught our members by
the experience of the last six weeks is
to keep their eyes open and to keep
them turned towards the exchanges
of New York, Chicago and other large
cities, and the moment grain or pro.
duce gamblers stock their cards and
announce that there is a scarcity in a
certain article of food that prices &c
up, in consequence of which every
member should resolve, and resolve
out loud, that until the unhallowed
hand of the speculator has been re.
moved from the article in question,
not pound or an ounce more than
can be avoided will be purchased.
This may be regarded in the light OF
boycotting, and this is exactly what l
intend it for, and had l the power
vested in me to make the order imper-
ative, l would order every member, SO
far as in him lies, to place an internal
boycott on every grain and stock gam
bier in the United States and Canada. 4"

THE Secretary of the Interior has
concurred in the recommendation OF
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office to appoint a commission
to make thorough and exhaustive
investigation of the condition of the
Willamette Valley, and Cascade Noun
tain Wagon road, The Dalles Military
Wagon Road and the Oregon Central
Wagon Road, in the State of Oregon,
especially as to whether the said roads
have been constructed, and whittier or
not the certificate of the Governor of
the completion of the said roads was
obtained by false or fraudulent repre-
sentations made by the parties inter
ested in obtaining said lands. The
Secretary has appoi nted John B. Nc
Name, of Cleveland, Ohio, now in
the Assistant Generals Office, to re-
present the Department on the Com
mission, and will soon appoint two
others to represent the General Land
Office, on the recommendation of the
Commissioner. The investigation will
commence early in August. The
complaint is made to the General
Land Office that neither of the wagon
roads has been completed according to
law, although their completion has
been duly certified to by the Governor
of Oregon. The grants to these roads
aggregate about 9 100000 acres.

Farm Notes.

Guineas and turkeys are excellent
foragers, and destroy large numbers Of
insects in season.
A hen that attends to her business
and is properly cared for will lay her
weight in eggs in two months.
A gill of lihseed meal fed daily to
each cow or horse will keep the bowels
in good condition and greatly promote
the health.
The wa - 49, G. ..,,;e
convention resolved that the tariff act
of 1888 was failure so far as it aimed
to protect their interests.
A French paper says that petroleum
destroys all insects and banishes rats
and mice, and that water slightly i'm
pregnated with petroleum applied to
plants infected with insects, will de-
stroy them.
If the calves and pigs were COM
PEELED to forage for living, like the
hens, they would soon become a nui-
sance, and fail to pay; yet the hen is
sometimes expected to lay under the
most adverse conditions. If she is to
pay profit she must receive the at
tention necessary to enable her to per-
form all that may be required of her.
A Colorado farmer who has tried it,
is of the opinion that the great grazing
plant of the future is rye. Says he :
" 1t should be sown in the month of
August, when it will afford a very
good bite of fresh feed for colts or
calves through the Winter and early
Spring, and if never allowed to mature
or ripen will grow on without irriga-
ton. 1t is an excellent grass for mich
cows"
An experienced stockman estimates
that ton of bran fed with two tons
of hay is worth as much as four tons
of hay fed alone to either horses, cattle
or sheep. The feed-cutter is necessary
to make bran SO profitable a feed.
Bran upon cut wheat, rye or oats
straw will make fattening feed for
horse, and the two given separately
would not possess any such feed value.

WedlOck i'm Venezuela.

A writer in the american Magazine
who has travelled in Venezuela, men
tiOns the curious state of affairs re-
garding wedlock" that exists in the
remote parts of that republic not
among Indians alone but among all
the distant residents. The ministra:
tions of Catholic priests are rare, yet
they do not forget their flock and
make long, difficult and dangerous
journeys to reach its scattered MEM
as husband and wife until the priest
does come along, when both union
and resultant children are legitimized
and all goes on well. Instances of
separation are practically unknown,
the wife of one man in Caracas had
born to him 16 stalwart sons before the
marriage vows were spoken.
The population of 434 divorces to
2,917 marriages in San Francisco dur
ing the past year is proof of the fact
that the kind of civilization now in
use among us has to many rendered
marital VOWS a legal farce. Their re-
ligious solemnity has been taken away
and this has not been replaced by
natural morality, or observance of
honor and decency for their own sake
AS people we are in the slough of in
fidelity which the Catholics of Venez-
uela have heretofore escaped. We
lack'their old-fashioned spirit of stead
mess and fidelity.

EVEN STRICTER THAN SPARKS.
Ruling that will Cause many 9
Claimant 10 Shoulder.

WASHINGTON, July ia general
principle of long standing and con-
siderable Importance in the admins
tration of public land matters is re-
affirmed by Acting Secretary Muldow
in his ruling on the case of James
Young's homestead entry in Salt
Lake City. Its purport is that no
amount of cultivation and improve
ment, and no showing of good faith
in other respects, can atone for lack of
actual resid ence and does not give vail
dity to claim, except in so far as it
shows an intention to make such
residence permanent beyond the ac-
quirement of title. Young had cult
waited fifty acres of his claim, con-
structed irrigation bitches and built
house, in which he personally lived.
His improvements are valued at from
81 600 to 200. His family remained
upon the place owned by him, half a
mile distant, ana it was in evidence
that he designed to abandon his claim
as place of residence as soon as he
had made his title secure. A contest
was made by VanNostrum, a profes-
sional contestant, who purposed gain
ing some preference rights and selling
them out. The local officers and the
Commissioner decided for Young and
against VanNostrum. The acting
Secretary orders a modification of this
decision. He says, while VanNostrum
cannot acquire any rights in the
matter, the Government is not stopped
from action upon information it has
gained, and he directs cancellation of
YOung's claim.

Directors School District No. l

OWING to the heavy taxes inn
posed by the city of New Haven,
Conn, the New York, New Haven and
Hartford road has decided to remove
its shops, employing 5000 men, from
that city to point between New
Haven and Bridgeport, Conn, where
it is proposed to establish a new town
after the plan of Pullman. The COM
pany will build houses which it will
rent to its workmen at a reasonable
figure. This plan is expected to re-
duce the expenses of the company 30
per cent. This will prove a serious
blow to the city of New Haven, and
will make material reduction in it's
population, as it is estimated that the
5000 workmen represent a total of
$4,000 persons.

AT Boonville, S. c., last Saturday
Judge Hudson sentenced Axey Cher
ry, colored girl, IL years old, to be
hanged on the third Friday in Sep
tember, for the murder of the infant
of Amos Williams, of Allendale, Boon
vile county. The child was sent by
her mother to act as the nurse for the
Williams baby. She attended to her
duties in SO negligent way, that she
had to be constantly scolded. After a
scolding one day, she said she was
not going to bother with the baby
much more. A few days after some
concentrated lye was used in securing
the floor, and when Mrs. Williams left
the room for few minutes she told
Axle that the lye was poison. On
Mrs. Williams return, she was horri-
fled to find her baby's mouth full of
concentrated lye. The young murder
ess, all through her trial, seemed to
have no idea of the terrible nature of
her deed.

Our Schools.

1t will be seen by notice in this issue
of the STANDARD that the directors OF
schools have asked for a special tax for
the purpose of tuition, etc. 1t is due
the public that We make a plain state
ment of the finances of the district.
and show them why it is absolutely
necessary to vote this tax. A year
ago the district was in debt about $S,-
600, and in free converse with many
OF the heaviest taxDayers of the dis
trict, it was thought best to pay TINS
Indebtedness in two years and thus
save several hundred dollars interest.
We asked by special vote tax of $3,-
500, but it yielded us someting over
1000. This tax WAS expended in pay
ing expenses of last term of school;
devOting the over-plus with the gener-
al county tax assigned this district,
toward the payment of the debt, about
81 600 of which the Treasurer has paid.
In round numbers there yet remains
an indebtedness of $4,000. With ia
vorable vote of the amount asked for
this year-the assessment of property
yielding a revenue equal to that of
1SS6-we will be in the proud position
to pay the last dollar of our indebted
ness, and maintain the enviable posi-
ton Of non-repudiators of an honest
debt.
If special tax of five mills will net
us the amount $4,000 required to
pay our debts, We think there will be
no necessity for another special tax for
many years to come. The late emu
meration of this district shows about
$50 children of school age, about 1926
to $50 of whom attend the public
schools. We have abundant room for
that number or more, and We probably
will not be required to provide addi-
tional room for several years.
Now, fellow citizens, We appeal to
you as intelligent, patriotic and liberal
persons, will you give lis the means to
liquidate the Indebtedness of the dis
trict, or will you refuse it and place
us and the district in the unenviable
position of regulators? We believe
you will stand by the school and
cheerfully vote us the means to pay
the last dollar of our Indebtedness.
